Plan on going out of Catawba state park on sunday, but only if the ice is decent. If anyone out there could give an updated report on the ice conditions and which directions to go or not to go, that would be appreciated. Basically, all i need to know is if there is relatively safe ice to go on just like a half mile out or so. Havent been up there this winter and don't wanna go up there if theres not safe ice. Any information is appreciated thanks hot-n-tot
heading that way in morr...i ll let u know what i find out...there might be some one else let u know by then...but if not check back here tomm...i ll let u or all of u know..i hope the roads in morr.will be good..its a long way from whitehose to cat.island
Took a ride out to see how many trucks and shantys were out. Seen some just off the park to the west and some further out to the NW of the point.
Hope to be out soon.
Man, ud sure think there would be some decent ice out there as cold as it's been. It's susposed to be really cold this weekend and in the mid 20's next week. Lows the next 2 or 3 nights are susposed to be near 0 with hardly any wind. That should help lock in the ice from going all too far. Im really hoping it freezes decent between catawba and south bass. Thats where the eyes are probably at. Well, any reports at all would be appreciated!
Good luck everyone
I heard ice is between 6" & 18". The trail is tough on equipment. Try to get to 22 fow.
Good Luck and Good Fishing
C Ya next week on the ice

Thanks RUSS can't make it over there till mid to late next week. good luck on Sun., let us know how you do.
Gonna give Catawba a shot tmrw. Never made it out there last year and this shad problem seems to be a major issue all over the area. The eyes can eat a shad and not eat for a week so i'm sure its making the fish tough and might even be influencing unusual migratory patterns due to their food source being so plentiful. Hopefully these shad die off and fishing picks up. Good luck fellas does anyone have and reports of any action out in front of the marshes.
anyone going out at crane creek?
went out of state park yesterday (fri) about 1.5 miles to the nw 22 ft of water we had 8 inches of ice , tons of shad on vexlar no eyes to be found. this is my second trip out same result. went out mlk day 6-7 inches ice all shad. seems to be a problem , will try again next wk. the parking lot at state park was just about empty!
